SASSIE Arctic Field Campaign Summary Ice Concentration Rankings from ML analysis of SBAND Images Fall 2022

Published by NASA/JPL/PODAAC | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: February 21, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-02-17
This dataset contains ice concentration rankings of S-band images from the S-BAND marine navigation radar collected during the 2022 Salinity and Stratification at the Sea Ice Edge (SASSIE) campaign. SASSIE is a NASA experiment that aims to understand how salinity anomalies in the upper ocean generated by melting sea ice affect sea surface temperature (SST), stratification, and subsequent sea-ice growth. SASSIE involved a field campaign that sampled the transition from summer melt to autumn ice advance in the Beaufort Sea during August-October 2022, making intensive in situ and remote sensing observations within ~200km of the sea ice edge. Images from the radar were digitized and saved every 10-60 seconds on days that the R/V Wolstad was in or around ice. Ice concentration rankings ranging from 0 to 3 determined by VGG19 Machine Learning Model. L2 summary data are available in NetCDF format.
